美国环境社会学最新研究进展

目前,中国环境社会学界对美国环境社会学的文献研究存在以下问题：一是相似度很高,对其理论和观点的表述如出一辙;二是缺少对最新成果和前沿问题的关注。本研究力图＂言别人所未言/未深言＂,对新近研究特别是具有特色的研究进行梳理。其中,理论研究主要是生态现代化、生产的跑步机和双重转移论,经验研究主要是全球气候变化、海洋开发与核风险研究。美国环境社会学的学术研究具有很强的前瞻性,对我国环境社会学的发展具有指导和借鉴价值,但我们更需要增强＂问题意识＂和＂理论修养＂,形成具有本土特色的研究成果。

The Latest Research Development of Environmental Sociology of USA

At present,the research circles in China have two problems on the study of environmental sociology of USA.On the one hand,the similarity is very high with similar statements;on the other hand,the concern about the latest achievements and the pioneer issues is deficient.The paper focuses on the recent research,especially on the research with distinctive characteristics.In theoretical research,it centers on ecology modernization,treadmill of production and double diversion.In empirical research,it concentrates on global climate change, ocean exploration and nuclear risk.The academic research of environmental sociology in the USA is full of foresight,which is beneficial to the development of environmental sociology in China.However,it is necessary for Chinese researchers to have consciousness on the problems concerned and highlight theoretical preparation.Also,it is compulsory for them to do research with Chinese characteristics.
